Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups (3 oz) packed fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb fresh or frozen green beans (washed and trimmed if using fresh)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for beans)
Preparation
  1. In a food processor combine basil, almonds, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and olive oil. Pulse until pesto sauce forms, scraping down the sides and stirring part way through. Pesto should be uniform consistency with occasional small chunks of nuts and cheese. Set aside.
  2. Fill a medium pot halfway with water and add salt. Bring water to boil and drop green beans into water. Cook for 5 minutes or until firm-tender.
  3. Use a slotted spoon to remove green beans and place on platter or serving dish. Top with pesto and butter. Add salt and pepper to taste and toss with tongs to combine. Serve while hot.
